As I did a sweepstake for the 2014 World Cup I am just looking to see if we have the interest to do a similar sweep on the 2016 Euro's.

There are 24 teams so at £10 a team that would give us a prize pot of £240. On this occasion all that pot will be paid out in prizes.

My suggestion would be £120 to the winner, £60 to the runner-up and 2 other prizes of £30. One for the team with the worst record in the group stages (if tied, prize split) and £30 to the first team to lose on penalties. If no penalty shoot-outs then I would donate this £30 to The Mariners Trust.

Games don't start until the 10th of June so I won't br taking entries for a couple of months yet, but just want to see if we have 24 people willing to take part.

If you have any other suggestions feel free to mention them and if you are interested add a post to this thread. If we do have the interest it'll be the first 24 to post their names.

I'd be in!

Not for a couple of months yet. I'm just putting the idea out there at the minute. Looks like we should be able to get the required 24 so I will make a note of those who have expressed an interest and send PM's out nearer the time to remind them.

Yes please.

Count me in Les ;)

When you get round to doing that please text me Les as I don't check on here every day/week.
Thanks. UTM

I'll have a bash 👍🏾

So far we have 18 people who have expressed an interest, so still 6 more places up for grabs.

Thefish, Brazilnut, Maeinerjase, Hagrid, Wodewick, Mariner93er, Gobby, Thevera, Relegation Plaice, Crusty Ole Pie, Green27, Wrawby Mariner, Barralad, Stuart Brace Was King, The Yard Dog, Ivanosandwich, Simariner, Tagg.

We'll get the season out of the way and then I'll PM everyone to remind them and start getting the money in.

Yeah go on then Les I'll stick money in to no doubt draw Albania or Romania.

In please Les.

23 people now interested, so ONE more place available.

Red name means paid.

I may be tempted Les

Not gaurenteed however.

If your name is in red then it means that you have already paid.

The tournament kicks-off on the 10th of June so I will be hoping to do the draw at least a couple of days before then.

Ill take the last place Leslie my good man

looking forward to this!

Put me on the reserve list if anyone drops out please

Any spaces left I'd be in les

Utm

I'll be PM'ing the people who expressed an interest a few weeks ago and if anyone doesn't get back to me then I will make their places available.

Les, how can I get my money to you as I'm not very trustworthy of online transactions? Thanks.

Count me in if someone backs out!

Les, since there's so much interest, how about running 2 separate competitions ? The first 24 to pay up in one competition....

I'm in

Money paid I think, from "promotion plaice" formerly known as "relegation plaice" cheers Les.

Quoted from GtfcGarner

Les, how can I get my money to you as I'm not very trustworthy of online transactions? Thanks.

If you can't do Paypal or a direct bank transfer you can drop it into me at work if you live locally. I work at David Bury's in Pasture Street.

Only just seen this :( Id be In for sure if you run a second competition, if not count me in the the first one in the unlikely event that 4 or 5 or however many it would take don't pay / drop out. Cheers.

Can anyone tell me why i get a negative for asking to take the last place in the comp?

Money sent Les

Gutted, thought I'd stuck my name down. Oh well.

Any spare places let us know mate

Latest update. I have PM'ed everyone who expressed an interest and set a deadline of 6pm on the 3rd of June for money to be sent. Antone who does not get back to me by then will have their place offered to the first person on the reserve list.

There has been one person who has changed their mind re taking part so this place will go to Woz Of Grimsby who did express an interest initially but I missed his post. I will PM him to let him know.

Had to delay until after Marcus "sliced bread mk II" Rashford scored but it's now been sent.

As far as I can tell, just Hagrid, Simariner, Pizzzza, GTFCGarner and Wozofgrimsby who haven't paid yet.

I am getting Simariner's money on Wednesday and I will send a reminder to the others if I don't receive their money by tomorrow evening. If any are not paid by the 3rd of June then places will go to the people on the reserve list.

Will send mine tuesday les.

Live draw like the World Cup Les? Enjoyed it.

Please count me in if a space pops up!

All money now in for this. I will do the draw sometime tomorrow evening and post a link to the draw on here.

The draw has now been done as you can see from the video below.

You can all have a laugh at my amateurism and the fact that I didn't realise you'd be able to read the teams properly when the video was played.  ;D

I will publish a list of teams and entrants in a few days time when people have had a chance to watch the video.

Winner = £120
Runner-up  = £60
First team to lose on penalties = £30
Team with the worst record in group stage = £30

Brilliant Les, well done to you sir ( even though I got Ukraine )............. :)

Northern Ireland it is!

Chocs away!  A Stella draw. Suppose I've got a chance but seems like I've got one of them neither here nor there teams. Hoping for pens.

Can we have a bit more background on the teams and draw makers like the FA Cup draw next time? "Albania's first time in the European Championships final draw proper of course" "The draw will be made by Les Brechin who won his work's 1995 Grand National Sweepstake".  ;)

I got the taffs

Les I will look out for 2 round goldfish bowls and some ping pong balls.

Best watch out Les the FA might ring you to draw the FA cup, your draw and video was brill

Good luck everyone

Well done Les, enjoyed that, happy with my team (I think ;D) roll on the competition two teams to support now ;)

Watched quickly at work with no sound ......think I have the Germans ......if there is one country I hate more than the French the Yanks Portugal Argentina Scotland and any other country not England .....then it is them lol

Go Croatia lovely country and smashing people so therefore quite happy for them to be my second team

First out the bag with Sweden. I love Volvo's... 8)
UTMM

Oh no😂😂

England well that's my money down the drain.  ;D

Romania, you obviously didn't understand what the extra 10 quid I sent was for  ;)

Poland it's like being at work can not get away from them!!!!

Cheers Les   ;)

One time I might enter these things and actually have a chance/get a decent draw.Bloody Czechs.
